I'm trying to keep up with this here blog, but seems like I never get enough time! So, here we go, time to catch up! Let's see... we've been up to the same old stuff the past month or so. We've had some nice visits with friends and family. Made a few trips to the zoo and the park. Celebrated Father's Day with our favorite guy. Set up the water table for the hotter days (that thing is very much loved by the girls!) Learned to ride tricycles in the basement on the rainy days. Just typical stuff!
This is such a fun age with the girls! You just never know what will come out of their mouths. For two girls that hardly talked for the longest time, they are making up for it now. Avery never shuts up. If something is happening, she's narrating it to us. And she's started the "Why?" questions. It's "What you doing Mommy?" and "Why you doing that?" and "What that Mommy?" and "Why? Why? Why?" - yikes! Morgan is definitely quieter. But, when Avery isn't around, Morgan is much more talkative - she just needs the chance to get a word in!
We haven't started potty training yet. I just haven't been super motivated to do it. The girls are ready, but I think we're going to wait until after our summer vacations are over. Our deadline is by age 3, since they have to be potty trained to move up to the 3's classroom at school. So, I can't put it off much longer. They both know when they go to the bathroom because they tell me... always afterwards, though.
Now, for a picture dump from my phone...
